Verdict
6 looks the class act in here but will improve for whatever he does today; 2 preference
Parade ring updates
1 Al Nayyir - older chap now and can present a little heavy; okay but doesn’t stand out
2 Amiloc - has got warm but seems settled in the pre-parade, not the biggest but athletic
3 Deira Mile - slight stringhalt behind (high action), has got warm, fit
4 Epic Poet - a bit fussy which can be his way, fit and well
5 Furthur - always been an eye catching individual, slender and leggy, has darkened in the coat, okay for reappearance
6 Rahiebb - has so much quality, big imposing colt with plenty of chest. Has been a bit strong and will tighten up over ribs but oozes class.
7 Tarriance - very level headed, lovely way about him, not as razor sharp as some of the Balding horses have presented this week
15:30 EBF Marygate Stakes (Listed)

7 best, hasn’t turned a hair and looks ready for the day. 6 and 3 also liked at longer odds.
Parade ring updates
1 Angels Passing - rangy and unfurnished, little behind in the coat, good attitude but will improve for the run
2 Armor Supreme - has size and scope, leggy and athletic, strong filly
3 Lady Blanche - stocky build, plain head, good demeanour, real sprinting type but expect others to look classier. Worth marking up switched to paddock, another ‘today’ filly with good attitude
4 Lake Muritz - keeps making appeal, has size and whilst she’ll still keep developing physically, still presents strong and well
5 Laralynn - two handlers and needs them, very keen and unsure, concern
6 Love A Giggle - racy, agile little filly, very much for the day, good demeanour
7 Lover Girl - compact and well balanced, very much a ‘now’ juvenile filly, very relaxed
8 Margaret’s Pearl - stockily built filly, good temperament, doesn’t stand out on fitness
9 Niewiadoma - fussy and a little strong at times, having a mess around. Okay fitness but needs to settle
10 Princesse d’Orange - still quite babyish in her demeanour, no fitness questions but second handler added to settle her, bit green

2, 1 and 5 the best trio
Parade ring updates
1 Thunder Run - very fit, hard to fault, plenty of rib and definition
2 Warrant Holder - impressive physical, looks like a Group performer, very fit for reappearance
3 Regal Ulixes - narrow and slender gelding, fit and fine
4 Tony Montana - good looking horse, always takes the eye in the paddock, has definition but will be spot on next time
5 Have Secret - a little busy and keen to get on with things but looks spot on, very fit
6 The Glen Rovers - heavy setups, tend to present like that from the yard but others appeal more
7 Castle Stuart - sturdily built sort but should improve for the run
8 Chillingham - notably fit after a long break, likeable
9 Ashnak - narrow gelding, presents fit
10 Per Contra - will improve for the outing, some definition
11 NR
12 Zryan - little plain in the coat, no major issues
13 Cadarn - big powerful sort, likeable physical, okay definition
14 NR
15 Double Parked - solid and muscular, fine
16 Altareq - very edgy and will improve over the ribs for the run
17 Financer - fussing and keen; concern

6 and 5 best pair here; preference for the 5 as looks spot on for reappearance. Good standard of field, all fit and well.
Parade ring updates
1 Act Of Kindness - moves well, good sized filly, fussing a little with head, fit
2 Botagoz - leggy tall filly, narrow frame, straightforward demeanour, fit
3 Fashion People - most appealing physical of the Gosden pair, well balanced and powerful, sprinting/mile profile rather than a middle distance filly in the making. Becoming keen now switched to paddock.
4 Lilt - deep girthed, strong filly, a little tense through head and neck but no concerns. Fit.
5 Pacific Mission - definitely ready on reappearance; lean and ribby, catches the eye with good demenaour
6 So Regal - slender framed filly, easy going, fit and well, leggy rather than stockily built
7 Synchronicity - wowed when winning at Newbury; was clear best and looks less so here. Neat, smaller type, very fit. No obvious negatives but doesn’t jump out in obvious fashion.
13:45 Yorkshire Equine Practice Handicap

6 Harry The Rogue - a bit whizzy and keen but undoubtedly fit, hard definition
7 Dingle - powerful; good level of fitness
8 Ormolulu - makes appeal, hard fit
9 Nyman - backs up quickly and race fitness shows; has got very warm, concern
10 Stratocracy - tense and fussing, will improve for the run
11 Aisling Oscar - big strong type, fit and well
12 Quest For Fun - plain through the coat but wouldn’t be a concern; very fit and muscular
13 Mereside Diva - likeable mare, good level of definition and getting on with the job
14 Zarathos - moving forward and alert, very defined behind, one of the better models
15 Captain Parma - very defined, likeable
16 Highland Olly - hard to like as a physical; heavy set and therefore doesn’t appeal on fitness
17 Havana Prince - keen to get on with the job, likeable physical
18 Style Of Life - holding tension through head and neck, okay fitness on reappearance
19 Gressington - big strong gelding, two handlers but level headed and calm; fit
